Genetic Identification of Juvenile Pink Salmon Improves Accuracy of Forecasts of Spawning Runs in the Okhotsk Sea Basin

Temporal and Spatial Variation in Growth Condition of Pacific Salmon

“…Regional and species-wide allozyme baselines have been developed for odd-year (i.e., Shaklee et al 1991;Varnavskaya and Beacham 1992;Hawkins et al 2002;Kondzela et al 2002) and even-year broodline pink salmon (i.e., Noll et al 2001;Hawkins et al 2002). More recently, genetic baselines for pink salmon have also been developed using mitochondrial DNA sequence analysis (Yamada et al 2012;Torao and Yanagimoto 2015;Shpigalskaya et al 2016), microsatellite markers (Beacham et al 2012b), and SNPs (Seeb et al 2014). All studies incorporating different classes of genetic markers showed that genetic differentiation between odd-year and even-year broodlines was greater than population differentiation within broodlines.…”

“…There have been few genetic stock identification studies on high-seas pink salmon. Shpigalskaya et al ( , 2016 applied a mitochondrial DNA baseline of Russian stocks to identify the origin of juvenile pink salmon in the Okhotsk Sea, and they reported that the southern population, including Sakhalin stock, was dominant (58%), followed by the northern population (24%; west Kamchatka and north Okhotsk Sea stocks) and the Amur/Primorye population (17%).…”

“…The knowledge gained during the last five years on the winter ecology of Pacific salmon is based primarily on surveys conducted by Russia in central and western parts of Subarctic Frontal Zone in the winter and spring 2009-2011, a synthesis of surveys conducted by Russia in 1982-1992, and cruises by Canada on the continental shelf from west of Vancouver Island to Southeast Alaska in the fall and winter 2000-2014, much of which was reviewed in Myers et al ( ). et al 2016aShubin and Akinicheva 2016), coded-wire tags (Fisher et al 2014;Tucker et al 2015a), acoustic tags (Moore et al 2012;Brosnan et al 2014), and genetic stock identification methods (Tucker et al , 2012aShpigalskaya et al , 2016Teel et al 2015;Kondzela et al 2016a, b). Overall, migration behavior of juvenile salmon has been shown to vary among species, stocks, and life histories (Tucker et al , 2012aFisher et al 2014;Teel et al 2015).…”

Is Winter the Critical Period in the Marine Life History of Pacific Salmon?

“…There have been few genetic stock identification studies on high-seas pink salmon. Shpigalskaya et al (2013Shpigalskaya et al ( , 2016 applied a mitochondrial DNA baseline of Russian stocks to identify the origin of juvenile pink salmon in the Okhotsk Sea, and they reported that the southern population, including Sakhalin stock, was dominant (58%), followed by the northern population (24%; west Kamchatka and north Okhotsk Sea stocks) and the Amur/Primorye population (17%).…”
